An inventory of
his papers

Papers of the General secretary of the
Communist Party of the United States from 1930 through its dissolution in
1944. When the Party was reconstituted as the Communist Political
Association later that year, Browder was chosen as its President, however he
was expelled in 1946 following a debate over Party leadership. Following his
expulsion, Browder lectured and wrote about Marxism and represented Soviet
writers and publishers for publication in the United States. Collection

philosophy, the workings of the C.P.U.S.A., Browder's role within the Party

manuscripts (1924-1967) of Browder and others, including Browder's

Earl Russell Browder (1891-1973) was General Secretary of the Communist party of the
United
States during the height of its popularity, in the 1930s and 1940s and twice
represented the Party as its candidate for President. Earl Browder was born
on May 20, 1891, in Wichita, Kansas. He was the son of William Browder and
Martha Jane Hankins Browder. His father was a teacher and farmer who was
avidly Populist. Earl Browder had little formal education and went to work
to help support the family. At the age of 15 Browder joined the Socialist
party, but within a few years he moved on to the newly formed Syndicalist
League of North America, led by William Z. Foster. He took courses in law
and business and became manager of a cooperative store in Olathe, Kansas
where he authored a manual on the principles of accounting for cooperatives.
In 1917, Browder was convicted of espionage for speaking out against
potential US involvement in World War I and following his release from
prison continued to oppose the war and was again convicted and served a
second sentence. Soon after he left prison in 1919, he joined the newly
organized Communist party. He also went to work for Foster's Trade Union
Educational League (TUEL) in New York City. In 1921 Browder and Foster
represented the TUEL at the Red International of Labor Unions (RILU) in
Moscow. Browder became a top aide to Foster. In 1926 Browder travelled to
Moscow and then China as part of an international Communist labor
delegation. Returning to the United States in 1929, Browder helped Foster
become General Secretary of the party. When poor health forced Foster into
semi-retirement in 1932, Browder succeeded to the party leadership. During
the 15 years of his leadership, the Communist party grew from a membership
of a few thousand to over 100,000 and gained both visibility and
considerable respectability with Browder as its "face" and "voice". Browder
was the Party's candidate for President in 1936 and 1940, both times with
James W. Ford as his running mate. In 1940, Browder was convicted of
passport fraud and sentenced to four years in federal prison in Atlanta but
his sentence was commuted by President Roosevelt after 14 months. In the
election of 1944, Browder supported Roosevelt's reelection and presided over
the dissolution of the United States Communist Party and the formation of
the Communist Political Association. In 1946, Browder and his brother
William were both expelled from the international Communist Party. Following
his expulsion, Earl Browder wrote and lectured and worked with Soviet
publishers and authors to get their books published in the United States.
Browder died in Princeton, NJ on June 27, 1973.

Correspondence-subject files comprise approximately half the
collection. Represented here are important individuals in the Communist and
Socialist movements such as (Benjamin Davis, Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, James
W. Ford, William Z. Foster, Vito Marcantonio, Upton Sinclair, Norman Thomas
and Mao Zedong). There are extensive transcipts of early Central Committee
Plenum sessions (March, April 1930) and other early organizing meetings of
the Communist Party USA and the TUEL. Correspondence with and reports about
labor unions, other political parties ( American Labor Party, Henry
Wallace's Progressive Party, Socialist Party), and organizations
(International Labor Defense, National Council for Prevention of War ) are
also well represented. Boxes 10 through 15 contain material directly
relating to the Communist Party USA or to Communist parties in various
countries including Canada, Cuba, Greece, Mexico, Peru, Poland, Spain and
New Zealand. Also represented are a number of publications (
The Daily Worker,
New
Masses), publishers (Duke University Press, Haldeman-Julius
Publications, Oxford University Press, OGIZ), and booksellers ( [Irving]
Ephraim, O'Brien Antiquarian Bookseller), as well as educational
institutions (Cornell University, New York University, Princeton
University). Extensive legal files concerning Earl Browder's passport
violation case (United States v. Earl Browder 22 USC 220) and Raissa
Browder's deportation case (United States v. Raissa Berkmann Browder) are
included. There is also family correspondence including letters to and from
Earl Browder and his wife Raisa during Browder's time in jail.
Correspondence of Browder's sons Felix, Andrew and William which is related
to their own careers has been included in Memorabilia.

Writings contains articles (including letters to the editor), books
and speeches, almost all on political topics relating to labor problems
and/or Communism. Sample titles/topics include "The Communist Party and
Civil Liberties in the United States," "How To Tell an Anti-Democrat and How
To Beat Him," and "Cooperation with Communists." Of particular interest in
this series are several versions of Browder's autobiography, which was never
completed or published. There is a great deal of duplication of text among
articles, speeches and pamphlets as Browder's speeches were often published
in multiple forms.

Memorabilia includes address books, artwork, clippings about Browder
from a wide range of publications, financial material, and photographs of
Browder, both personal (family and friends) and political (Communist
International 7th World Congress). Also included in Memorabilia are
postcards which Browder brought back or sent to his sons for their postcard
albums, printed material, a number of sound recordings, and travel souvenirs.

Biographical material, Correspondence-subject files and Memorabilia are arranged alphabetically
by topic or subject. Writings are subdivided by type; within that, articles and speeches
are arranged chronologically while books are alphabetical by title.
